Evergreen Solutions, a national education consulting firm, has completed its comprehensive performance audit of Toledo Public Schools. The TPS assessment focused on the organizational, operational, and financial efficiency and effectiveness of the districts’ operations. An executive summary and full audit report have been presented to the Board of Education. The full audit report outlines findings and recommendations for containing costs, improving management strategies, and increasing the overall productivity of the school district.

The TPS Board of Education has chosen to receive the first version of the performance audit documents in a public meeting.  Prior to taking action on recommendations from the performance audit, this first version will have to be reviewed for factual errors or inaccuracies and recommendations will have to be checked against Ohio Revised Code, Ohio Department of Education and other regulatory agencies.  Following such a review, Evergreen Solutions will provide an updated version of the documents that may then be acted upon.

Full Audit Report

Toledo Public Schools is in the midst of a historic transformation. To learn more about the TPS Transformation Plan, please read the district's new community report: 2012-2013 District Report.

The district now offers neighborhood elementary schools, innovative use of technology, expanded course offerings and training for 21st Century jobs. Numerous new programs that have been introduced as part of the Transformation Plan include:

Early High School Opportunities 
Seventh and eighth grade students are now taking high school courses. Early High School Opportunities (EHSO) provides qualifying students with the opportunity to take specific courses at the high school in their learning community. EHSO classes give students the advantage of earning high school graduation credits and points toward their overall grade-point-average. Course offerings include: English I, Physical Science, Algebra, World Studies, Band, Orchestra, Choir, Software Applications, Spanish, French, Chinese, Japanese Culture, Home Economics, Physical Education, Art and Managing Transitions. 

Distance Learning
TPS high school students now have the opportunity take classes in a virtual classroom. Students are taking classes via the internet - through the use of technology students at one school now have the opportunity to enroll in classes that are offered at another school. Course offerings include: AP European History, AP American Government, AP Calculus, AP English, World Literature, Statistics, Russian and Chinese.

Alternative School Programs
TPS launched ‘high school academies’ as a way to offer high school courses and credit for students who were having difficulty adjusting to high school or who had dropped out of school and are now looking to complete course work toward earning a diploma. The program is web-based and is offer after regular high school hours. Students who enroll in this program will receive in-class support, along with the job placement assistance.
